abme OF the Novelties Exhibited In the Dress
OF tn. Gentler SEX,
one OF the pret,Ies. and simplest irOcks for
children IL the so.called "May" dress The
underskirt Ia plain and full, like pinsfore--
simply drawn together atthe neck and wrists
by means OF n tape, the sleeves being full and
loose. over this Is another sim ilarly cut
garment, only made with u low, square neck
and no sleeves, merely u band Of ribbon over
the shoulder with bow In the middle.
The chief novel feature in black cloth is
that fancy ones are to be worn instead OF plain,
especially boucle, ffise and plain stripes.
These give them 4 warmer and moro dressy
appearance. Some Of the tno yiCunas have
cord stripes, some have woven stripes form
ing checks, aud others have a large coarse
cheek on dice ground.
Blue iox and golden Drown holVer are the
most popular fur trimmings, though not TO
the exclusion OF many other handsome
kSinds. Blue, SCI fashionable RlI last sum
mer, loses none Of its popularity, aud blue
fo1 tones well with the iavOrite color. Not
that the fur IL really biue-hiue fur Is ~ ,n-
possible IA a blue TDsc-but II has Ger.
talnAlngs OF motsinC blush gray that in a
degree iusiihes the name bestowed upon
II.
The popular Russian tulle, with its Cnarse
basket net, which has been 80 much worn
for small veils Is now shown in light cOlOrs
tor evening dresses. Ii Ii very becoming as
n veil, and the effect IL excellent when worn
over silk In evening gowns. II does not
crush easily though IL looks extremely light,
and wears even better than Brussels net,
besides being much newer. IL is of Frerch
manufacture, though chrlstened Russian
tule
One of the prettiest OF the new fabrics IL the
beaded tulles In all the delicate evening
shades. The beads are sewn widely
apart and hang az pendants to the light
fabrics, In this way avoiding the appearance
Of inCongruous hoaviness always associated
with the weighty headings that used to be
worn. A charming costume worn by a
hostess at an afternoon tea lately was long
white silk, covered with Fedora lace, thar
was wrinkled across the front aud held I'm
place bya panel Of gilt b, AIDED basement ,ie.
The waist was cut shaped back aud front
and some OF this same beaded tulle with the
gilt pendants was drawn tichu.wise over the
shoulders.
Among the odd woolen gowns for home
wear is one In brown with panels of fancy
check. 1t IL laced across the 'front.' and the
velvet reveTs and cuffs are braided with gold .
The now fashionable Swiss belts are geuer-
ally worn with full. smscked bodices, which
are very becoming TO 1.-the figures.
Another house dress IS made OF new
fancy wooden cloth Ia a Carmelite brown, is
lined throughout with silk. From the yoke
at the neck fall cream folds of clairette in an
unbroken line to the feet, and tho narrow
sleeves have white turn-back cuffs. A dc.
muTe and very becoming gown this for a
pretty woman.
Also for home wear il neat dress OF soft
wooden goods aud surah. The tabler or
front OF the silk IL bordered with a band OF
plush applique. The princess overdress of
wOolen stuff has double revers, flushed with
plush. At each side of skirt is a cluster oi
llests, aud the back Is gracefully drsped.
